Looking for a fun snow day activity?

These easy to make beaded snowflakes are a pretty winter themed kids craft to make at home!

What you need:

Makes 2 snowflakes

• 6 pipe cleaners, we used winter colors like white, silver, light blue
• 1 small container of colored plastic beads, round and shapes

Directions:

1. Start by shaping your snowflake. Criss cross the 3 pipe cleaners. I form an “X” then add 1 pipe cleaned straight in the center.

2. Twist the 3 pipe cleaners together so you now have a 6 sided snowflake. 

4. Now, string beads through one snowflake arm. My kids liked making patterns.

5. Fold down the tip of the pipe cleaner over the last bead to secure.

6. Now repeat and string beads on the rest of the snowflake arms.

7. You can add a string to a side to hang or display on a shelf like my kiddos!

My kids liked making patterns and using different shapes of beads. 

Dad even joined in on the fun!
